- Characters: Mrs. Michelle Hadley, Buster Witwicky, Sparkplug Witwicky, Susan Witwicky, Spike Witwicky Location: Portland, OR Date: Sep 4 and 5, 1980 Summary: Sparkplug and Susan discuss what to do about Buster's continuing silence. September 4, 1980 - 3 days after the infamous Jeremiah incident. Busy family stuff as usual. Susan had an early substitute teacher gig she went to, so dinner's consisting of one of those types of meals that moms throw together when time is short and 4 people need to be fed. Call it goulash. Velveta shells and cheese, cheese, hamburger, and a thrown-together salad. Spike is sitting down across from his father. Susan sits down as well - and against her better wishes, has allowed Sparkplug to exercise some family enforcement - basically by asking Buster how his day went. If he doesn't answer - pull the 'I asked a question' card. Buster sits silently, large blue eyes wide, small mouth shut. He clutches a Luke Skywalker action figure in one pale fist. Spike takes another forkload of the high carb/high calorie/high fat dish. He then says cautiously, "Can I just ask ONE Star Wars question... I promise, it'll be the only one of the night." Buster stares at his food, silently. Susan Witwicky breathes out her nose and nods. "OK...just ONE - g'head." Spike takes a bite and a gulp of water. "So... Han Solo... is he dead?" Sparkplug shovels vast forkfuls of food into his mouth, watching his silent son carefully as the other jabbers on about Star Wars. ;) Susan Witwicky smiles. Part of the fun in serials like this is knowing how the story turns out. But when you have 2 relatively sensitive kids, it probably pays to be the spoiler. Judy shakes her head. "No, remember, C-3PO said ... he was still alive. He was just frozen." Spike nods. "So," Sparkplug interrupts ponderously, his attention focused on Buster. "How was YOUR day today, Buster?" Buster's eyes widen even further as he glances up at his father. And that pretty much does it for the conversation. Buster's silence has cast an almost funeral pall over the table. Before Sparkplug finally breaks the silence. Susan Witwicky looks at her son and folds her hands, leaning toward her son - hoping that sparks an iota of encouragement. Spike takes a few stabs at the iceberg lettuce and ranch dressing tossed salad (blue collar family staple). Susan Witwicky shakes her head for a brief second, feeling like some sort of out of body experience had controlled her for a fraction of a second. Buster looks somewhat fearfully between his parents, and reaches into his bowl, pulling some food out with his left hand and shoving it silently into his mouth. Sparkplug says, "Son.... I asked you a question. I expect an answer." Susan Witwicky clears her throat and says cautiously. "Uh...Buster... your dad asked you a question..." Spike doesn't move his head, but his eyes shift from the united parental front. Buster looks wide-eyed from one parent to the other, silently pushing more food into his mouth without really chewing. Susan Witwicky's eyes widen with concern. "Honey, at the table, we use utensils." Sparkplug sighs, giving his wife a 'now what?' look. Spike's eyes slowly pans to his dad. True to his word, Sparkplug hasn't laid a finger on either of them since that one spanking Spike received. Buster carefully picks up a fork in his left hand, still clutching Luke Skywalker in the other. Susan Witwicky looks at Sparkplug and gives the 'nod' - her go-ahead to go forth with punishment. Buster stabs his salad with the fork, pulling up a large sheet of iceburg lettuce dripping with ranch dressing. Spike keeps an eye on his dad. Though he doesn't expect physical punishment, dad's temper alone can be enough to scare the beejusus out of Spike and Buster. Sparkplug's tone is surprisingly gentle and quiet. "Son," he says, "If you aren't going to participate in discussion as a member of this family, I'm afaid you're going to have to go to your room without supper." Spike looks over at Buster to see what he's going to do. Buster stares blankly at his dad a moment, and then nods silently, carefully placing down the forkful of lettuce on his plate, and the Luke Skywalker doll on the table to his right. He pushes his chair back with a loud scape, and hops off of it, giving a look to each of his family members before obediently heading upstairs. Sparkplug sighs again. "Well, that didn't work as I'd hoped," he grumbles to his wife, looking at Spike while he does so. A few moments of silence pass. Spike looks to his mom, then looks his dad directly in the eyes, giving his dad a sort of 'I didn't do anything wrong, but I fell like I'm going to be punished next.' The feeling is so prevalent, it causes Spike to occasionally look his dad in the eye for a few moments. Sparkplug gives his son a distracted smile that doesn't reach his eyes. Susan Witwicky breathes out and says "Well... when you have a rule, we expect you to follow it." Spike's feared look turns into a small, relieved grin at his dad. Sparkplug looks back at his wife and nods. "You may be right about... needing help, though." His voice echoes with exhausted defeat. Susan Witwicky clears her throat. "Uh...heyah sweetheart, dad and I will clear the table. Why don't you work on your homework?" Spike nods. He looks at Sparkplug, "Dad, tomorrow, maybe can you show me how to use a drill?" Susan Witwicky flinches slightly, imagining a trip to the ER. Sparkplug's brightens at that. "Sure, son!" THIS is a request he can handle. Spike gets up and heads out. "Thanks..." He nods at his mother, "Thanks for dinner." Sparkplug frowns as soon as Spike leaves the table. "I don't suppose we can just starve him into talkin', huh?" he growls, obviously referring to Buster. Susan Witwicky smiles at her more...vocal? son. She then looks at Sparkplug with a baffled expression. "OK...I'm genuinely freaked out now. It's like he would rather prefer any punishment instead of speaking." She massages her temple. "I'm just...genuinely...freaked. I've read my share of psych books, but I've NEVER come across this!" Spike goes to read a book. As of 1980, his family is unable to afford an Atari 2600, so he goes for the next best thing... Judy Blume. Buster is in his room already, reading "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." Sparkplug says, "Well, I'm stumped. You really think a shrink will help?" Susan Witwicky shrugs. "It's not like we have a choice. Buster's teacher scheduled an appointment for tomorrow before I could even say anything." She breathes out and sighs. She then gives a mischievous grin at her husband and puts her arms around his shoulders. "By the way... the way you handled that. See? Didn't raise your voice ONCE. You were cool, even-headed. And Buster obeyed." She grins and kisses Sparkplug on the cheek. "YOU... handled that...awesomely." Sparkplug chuckles. "Well, I'd prefer results to accolates, but thanks." He shakes his head at the whole situation. Susan Witwicky sighs and begins to clean up. She looks at Sparkplug. "Did you know that Ron and Judy are going to see Pink Floyd LIVE in concert?! They're only doing a couple of shows for 'The Wall'!" Sparkplug looks at his wife. "Wow. We should totally join them and get high watching Pink Floyd. That will certainly fix all of our problems!" He doesn't often engage in sarcasm, but when he does, it doesn't suit him. Susan Witwicky breathes out her nose and mutters "Smartass..." Sparkplug grins rakishly. Susan Witwicky shakes her head. "It... there's a lot more than just DRUGS to that album. It's about... alienation... a sense of displacement from..." she looks at Sparkplug's rakish grin - and grins herself. "Stop it..." Sparkplug teases, "Oh, by all means. Tell me about the symbolism of the metaphors." He reaches over to tickle her. Susan Witwicky flinches and laughs "Goddamnit, stop it, I"m serious!" Sparkplug growls, "Oh, me, too. Deadly serious. You know me!" He pulls Susan into his lap, biting her playfully and tickling her mercilessly. Susan Witwicky laughs and drapes her arms around Sparkplug. Arrogant rake... Sparkplug LAUGHS victoriously, carrying his wife upstairs, troubles forgotten for a few hours, at least.
